Angels for Gabriel Memorial Foundation is a subsidiary of Angels of the Light Interfaith Ministry, which was established in 1997. We are a licensed not for profit ministerial organization. When our dear mother Suzanne passed away in 2002, we began the Angels for Suzanne campaign to raise funds for her treatements for leukemia and to raise awareness about this ravaging illness. We traveled the nation with angels praying for miracles with people who visited our tables. It was the most enriching spiritual experience of our lives for my husband Cephas and me.

Please help us to share this legacy of hope and faith and miracles for Gabriel.

Angels for Gabriel.

Memorial Fund for Gabriel

Direct bank deposits can be sent to the account we established for this fund. Here are the instructions:

Bank Branch: Wells Fargo
Person managing account: Cheryl Lynn Gardner
Savings Account No: 5763972659
Routing Number: 121000248

Please send all money orders and checks payable to Cheryl Lynn Gardner with the memo Angels for Gabriel Memorial Fund. Mail to : 1829 Cliff Avenue, McKinleyville, California 95519.

Call to verify at 240-863-6250 on my cell if you send anything or email angelsforgabriel@gmail.com. We have a person on that end who will make bank deposits for us so we can access the funds while we are in the Yreka area.

Another option is to moneygram to Walmart in Yreka, California with the receiver noted as Cheryl or Rickey Gardner. Again, please confirm by email that you sent funds so they can be picked up. This is a viable pick up point until Wednesday morning. The first service will take place at 4:20 pm in Yreka when we pick up little Gabriel for transport to McKinleyville/Arcata, California. I just spoke to Woodstock today Saturday, May 30, 2009 and he is making cemetery plot decisions and will be making funeral arrangements on that end.

Wednesday evening June 3 until June 7, all moneygrams or Western Unions should be sent to Arcata, California with the receiver as Rickey or Cheryl Gardner.

The other option is to mail a check or pay by credit card directly to the Funeral parlor. The address is listed in the sidebar. Please notify by email to the same one given above if you make this choice so we can keep track of how much is being paid for the casket and how much we need for the services. We'll post a notice whenever the casket is paid in full, at which time all money should go to paypal or the bank account or to moneygram to handle the other arrangements.

Thank you for your donations and your love.
